考向43 任务型阅读之回答问题 （2022·上海·统考中考真题）（Mike is telling a story. It happened when he was seven.） It was New Year’s Eve. In the morning, I heard Grandma tell Mum she needed a football for the New Year’s Eve dinner. “A football for the dinner? What’s it for?” I wondered. “Anyway, I will get one! I can do something nice for Grandma.” I remembered my friend Joe had an old football. I went out quietly and found him. I gave him my favourite model car in exchange for his football. I took the football home, shined it and put it on the living room table secretly. I waited in my room for Grandma to notice it. “Mike!” Mum shouted. I ran to the living room. “Why can’t you put your things where they belong? Get the football out of here!” “But it’s for Grandma! She said she needed a football for the New Year’s Eve dinner.” I said. “A football for the dinner?” Mum laughed. “No, Grandma needs a fruit bowl, not a football.” “Fruit bowl sounds like football! I have done a silly thing!” I went back to my room, embarrassed and disappointed. Before dinner, Mum came in and asked me to meet my uncles and aunts. When I walked into the living room, Grandma was showing them a pretty fruit bowl with the old football in its centre, I was surprised. “Look!” Grandma said. “Today Mike brought me a nice present, this football. Isn’t it beautiful?” She continued. “It’s beautiful, yes — because anything from a child is beautiful.” 1．How old was Mike when the story happened? ______________________________________________________________ 2．What did Mike give Joe to get the football? ______________________________________________________________ 3．Whom did Mike expect to notice the football? ______________________________________________________________ 4．Why did Mike think he had done a silly thing? ______________________________________________________________ 5．What did Grandma do with the football? ______________________________________________________________ 6．How might Mike feel after hearing
